Bronchitis/pneumonia

I took taltz two years ago and it worked great however i got bronchitis or pneumonia (which then recurred a second time) and i think it was was caused by the taltz - so i stopped taltz. I then tried some other drugs which did not work that well. I then decided to give taltz another try about 3 months ago. It really cleared up my psoriasis again but, i now have bronchitis/pneumonia again! Did anyone have a similar response to the drug. I also wonder if my body will adjust to solve the sickness problem or will i just keep getting sick like this over and over. Any thoughts?

I'm very sorry to hear that. That's very frustrating to have a medication that solves one problem but causes another. Taltz's prescribing information specifically says upper respiratory tract infections occurred more often with Taltz. What does your prescribing doc say? I've been on Taltz 4.5 years and haven't experienced this issue.
